Tunisia vs Japan — match preview
Tunisia meet Japan in Group F of the 2026 World Cup. Defensively disciplined Carthage Eagles, tough to break down.
Japan arrive with their own plan. Asia’s most improved side — fearless and technical, beat Germany and Spain in 2022. The match-up between Hannibal Mejbri and Takefusa Kubo is the headline individual battle.
On paper Japan have the stronger squad, but World Cup group games are rarely straightforward — the underdog only needs one moment, and the favourite carries the pressure of expectation.
